The Tanglewood Heritage features a dreadnought cutaway body shape, offering an enormous voice, and a well-balanced tone. The dreadnought shape was originally designed for hard pick attack, however the Heritage can handle many different genres and styles of play with equal ease. Its cutaway feature enables players to access more challenging chords higher up the fingerboard with equal ease, giving players a chance to explore the full extent of the fingerboard without struggle. The sheer volume the Heritage can project makes it ideal for the singer/songwriter, as vocalists can really push their diaphragm to the max and not feel too loud against the guitar's volume, as it will sing as loud as you do.
The Heritage Dreadnought Cutaway features a stunning engelmann spruce top, which sonically offers a mature tone that can be found on many of the older high-quality guitars. Engelmann spruce yields a slightly richer tone than sitka spruce, providing sweet singing harmonics, and long lasting sustain. Spruce is the most commonly used wood for guitar tops as it generates a broad dynamic range and accommodates numerous playing styles, from aggressive strumming to finger-picking. This stunning tonewood is contrasted with solid rosewood back and sides, providing the Heritage with bright attack and sparkly sizzle.

The Heritage guitar neck is crafted from mahogany, which responds greatly to picking, strumming, and various finger techniques with equal ease. In addition to its superb tone, the Heritage features a one-piece volute neck construction, providing a reinforced structure the neck, offering durability and stability. The mahogany neck is topped with an ebony fingerboard that provides a very responsive bright, snappy, crisp attack, coupled with a smooth sustain and bright top-end.
